7 Surprising Things You�ve Never Heard About Near Death Experiences (NDEs).
BY GOSTICA.
Parapsychologists have been studying Near-Death-Experiences (NDEs) for many years, however, most of us
aren�t familiar with what they�ve been finding.
We are familiar with the idea that many see a tunnel or a light in the distance, see or
meet passed on loved ones, and then return with perhaps a new outlook on life, but what
else do you know?
Here are some of the more interesting phenomena scientists have reported:
1.)
People can have NDEs when they are brain dead.
A famous case occurred during an operation referred to as a �standstill,� where one�s
body temperature is reduced to 60 degrees (F), the heartbeat and breathing stop, and
blood drains from the brain � in other words, a person is put to death to perform surgery.
In Pam Reynold�s case, she left her body, observed the operation and also entered the
tunnel and met with deceased loved ones, before returning to her body.
2.)
People born blind experience sight during an NDE.
In the book �Mindsight,� researchers documented 31 cases of the blind experiencing normal
vision during NDEs and reporting identical experiences to those who experienced NDEs
with normal vision.
3.)
Scientific discoveries have been brought back by people having NDEs.
7 Surprising Things You�ve Never Heard About Near Death Experiences (NDEs) One instance
happened when Lynneclaire Dennis returned from an NDE describing a three dimensional
geometric structure of light she called �The Pattern� and explained was �the the essence
of all being.�
The �Mereon Matrix�, as it is called, has been studied by world-renowned mathematician
Dr. Louis H. Kauffman, who concluded that a Ms. Dennis, non-scientist, had described
in detail a complex geometric structure that coincided with knot theory in physics and
did so without any prior knowledge of geometry, knot theory, or science.
4.)
NDEs can be shared by groups of dying people.
A fascinating example is that of a crew of wildland firefighters that took place in Colorado
in 1989.
Trapped by a change in conditions, firefighters had to take refuge in individual foil shelters
while the fire burned around and over them.
It was during this time in the shelters (known as �turkey cookers� in this field), that
one firefighter found himself above this scene looking down.
As he looked around, he saw his fellow firefighters gathered near him, doing the same.
He went on to witness the bright light and meet his deceased loved ones, but upon returning,
discovered that several other firefighters had the same experience � they had experienced
a group NDE!
5.)
Some have had visions of the future during NDEs that later came true.
In 1975, Dannion Brinkley was struck by lightning while talking on the phone during a thunderstorm.
During his NDE, he was shown 12 future events, presented to him almost as if he were watching
the news on T.V.
One event Brinkley had predicted was the nuclear melt down and explosion that occurred at Chernobyl
in 1986.
6.)
Children have similar NDEs to adults.
7 Surprising Things You�ve Never Heard About Near Death Experiences (NDEs) Children also
describe encountering �light beings� and deceased loved ones, but most also encounter
parental figures � some of which are more critical than loving, giving the child stern
advice or pointing out previous bad behavior.
Interestingly enough, some children reported having to go to animal heaven before they
were allowed to visit �people heaven.� Overall, though, the experiences between child
and adult NDEs were very similar.
7.)
Not all NDEs are pleasant.
Despite what is seen in the movies and on T.V., NDEs can be difficult or distressing
and, in a few cases, horrifying experiences.
Known as LTPs (for Less Than Positives), up to 18 percent of all NDEs fall into this category.
It is believed that LTPs may happen when someone is fearful or agitated just prior to the NDE
or when someone is in need of a readjustment in the trajectory of their lives.
Those that return from LTPs typically gain a new perspective on life and choose to live
it differently (and more positively) after the experience.
Anyone can have an LTP � it is more about needing a �course correction� than about
being a specific type of person � even good people can have them.
What is true is that all that experience LTPs learn from them!
NDEs often have commonalities, but in this article we�ve seen that there are exceptions
� that they are individual experiences in some ways and common in others.
Had you heard about some of these different types of NDEs?
